He knew they were a lie. Home of the Brave. Land of the Free. For who? Not black Americans. Not in 1960. Grant remembered vividly growing up in poverty in Lacooche, Florida, in a shack that had no hot water, no electric lights, or an indoor toilet, while his widowed-mothered supported her family on her menial wages working as a domestic in white people's home and then trying to supplement her meager wages at the local citrus plant. He remembered the white kids who would bully the black kids and call them racist names, the white cop who pointed a gun at him while his partner kicked him in the rear, and the unequal school system where black kids received old school supplies deemed unfit for white kids, where he studied in a school that was really a house with blankets dividing the classrooms. There were the segregated spring training games in Florida, his Cleveland Indians teammates who yelled racist remarks at black fans, and his pitching coach, Ted Wilks, who in 1947 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals tried to organize a boycott to avoid playing Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers, and as a pitcher regularly threw at the heads of black batters." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Racism in sports $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Discrimination in sports $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American athletes $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American athletes $v Biography. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a African American athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799025 650 7 $a Civil rights movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862708 650 7 $a Discrimination in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895130 650 7 $a Racism in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086664 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Moore, Louis, 1978- author. $t We will win the day $d Santa Barbara, California : Praeger, 2017 $z 9781440839535 $w (DLC) 2017023062 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043745.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54D4F798C38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
